This podcast is dedicated to proclaiming the hope of God's good news; that in Jesus, individuals, relationships or even churches, can find confident hope for a new beginning.
Send us a textThe Scriptures admonish us over and over not to judge each other. And if we practiced more consistently what the Bible teaches us, the church would be the safest environment of which anyone could be a part. Christians need to do better in this area. In the third part of our Judgment Free Living series, we offer what may be the only real safeguard against having a judgmental attitude.Matthew 18:21-35; James 2:13; Colossians 3:13; Matthew 6:9-14"Yet I still dare to Hope..." - Lamentations 3:21 PODCAST HOME: daretohopepodcast.buzzsprout.com/ EMAIL: hope@dare2hope.life FACEBOOK: Dare to Hope Ministries WEB: www.dare2hope.life
Send us a textThe message today continues to examine the six false assumptions we make as Christians, when we sit in judgment of others. In our last episode we spoke about the first three: assuming we can handle the responsibility of judging, mistakenly giving the impression that we are somehow superior to others, and falsely assuming we have God's authority to do it. In part 2 we will consider that last three false assumptions we make when we sit on the judgment seat.Matthew 7:1-12; James 4:10-12; Romans 14:4, 10-12"Yet I still dare to Hope..." - Lamentations 3:21 PODCAST HOME: daretohopepodcast.buzzsprout.com/ EMAIL: hope@dare2hope.life FACEBOOK: Dare to Hope Ministries WEB: www.dare2hope.life
Send us a textWith this episode, we begin a new four-part series called "Judgment Free Living." In these messages we will take a look at the significance and harmful impacts associated with our tendency to judge those around us.Part of the reason this is such an important topic for Christians to consider is because it is such a significant topic for the culture in which we live. The subject is complicated further by the fact that quite often we think we see our friends' and neighbors' faults clearly, when in fact we are more likely seeing our own failures.With that in mind, let's listen to part one of Judgment Free Living, and consider what's wrong with the Judgment Seat all of us tend to occupy from time to time.Matthew 7:1-12; James 4:10-12; Romans 14:4, 10-12"Yet I still dare to Hope..." - Lamentations 3:21 PODCAST HOME: daretohopepodcast.buzzsprout.com/ EMAIL: hope@dare2hope.life FACEBOOK: Dare to Hope Ministries WEB: www.dare2hope.life

Send us a Text Message.In our series, Stories that Matter, we have been taking a fresh look at some of the Bible stories that have shaped the Christian faith throughout its history. We have looked at the creation story, and the story of Abraham in our last two episodes. Today I want to draw our attention to the story of Joseph. As we look at this story, I hope we will be reminded that all of us have dreams of one kind or another. We may call them hopes, or plans, or expectations more than dreams, but whatever we call them they are expressions of a preferred future we look forward to experiencing. But with dreams come challenges, that can be stressful and lead us to despair. In today's episode we will get some helpful guidelines from Joseph's example.

God has always asked His people to trust Him. And often, He as asked for that trust without explaining the details of His plans to those who have committed to following Him. That's why Abraham's story is so significant for us. More than once, in so many words, God said to Abraham, “Trust Me;” and Abraham was forced to decide whether he was going to believe God or not.Genesis 121-7; 13:14-18; 15:1-6; Romans 4:1-8; Hebrews 11:7; Ephesians 2:8-9Closing audio from "Trust Fall" by Skit Guys on One Time Blind YouTube channel https://youtu.be/qhnRvb-M-P4?si=cwjsGPG6TzHhKQ3wEMAIL: hope@dare2hope.lifeFACEBOOK: Dare to Hope MinistriesWEB: www.dare2hope.life"Yet I still dare to Hope..." - Lamentations 3:21
Most everybody I know enjoys a good story. So today we are starting a series called "STORIES THAT MATTER," based on some of the Old Testament accounts of Israel's history. The concepts and principles found within the context of these accounts, form the background for much of what we as Christians believe about God, the Bible, and God's activity in our world today. In this episode we will explore how the world was created, and why humanity is unique among the creation. We will also recount how the beauty and perfection of God's creation was marred, and what God has done about it.Genesis 1-3WEB: www.dare2hope.lifeEMAIL: hope@dare2hope.lifeFACEBOOK: Dare to Hope Ministries"Yet I still dare to Hope..." - Lamentations 3:21
In 1 Samuel 17, we read the story of David and Goliath. Observers that day, would never have picked David to win the contest. And yet he did! This chapter in David's life story is a powerful illustration of the contrast that exists between the wisdom of God and the wisdom of this world. That's the focus of the message called, “The Wisdom of Foolishness.”1 Samuel 17:41-471 Corinthians 1:18-31WEB: www.dare2hope.lifeEMAIL: hope@dare2hope.lifeFACEBOOK: Dare to Hope Ministries"Yet I still dare to Hope..." - Lamentations 3:21
Easter is the day the church remembers the resurrection of Jesus Christ, which is the most important event in Christianity. But it occurs to me that Easter is more than celebrating an historical event, it is also the anticipation of a day yet to come. So in this episode we are focused on THAT day.2 Timothy 1:12, 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18WEB: www.dare2hope.lifeEMAIL: hope@dare2hope.lifeFACEBOOK: Dare to Hope Ministries"Yet I still dare to Hope..." - Lamentations 3:21
Along the pathway of life we are all subject to discouragement, despair, feelings, of depression, and sometimes fearful anticipation of the future. The Bible relates the stories of a number of people who were gripped with these kinds of feelings.

In today's message we are reminded that God pours out His grace on us when we are faced with painful situations, and uses the pain to benefit our lives. In a very real sense, God can recycle our pain and turn it into something good.Matthew 5:3-14; Romans 8:26-29; Proverbs 20:30; Isaiah 30:21; 2 Corinthians 1:8-10; Psalm 119:31; 1 Peter 3:15EMAIL: hope@dare2hope.lifeWEB: www.dare2hope.lifeFACEBOOK: Dare to Hope Ministries"Yet I still dare to Hope..." - Lamentations 3:21
“Momentum” – that is a somewhat elusive concept to understand, but it is an important factor even in our spiritual success. It is the factor that keeps us growing and developing in our relationship with Jesus, and contributes to our usefulness within God's Kingdom as He moves to fulfill His mission in the world.Mathew 5:9; 2 Peter 3:18; 1 John 2:28; James 1:25; 1 Corinthians 16:13; Philippians 1:6; Galatians 6:9WEB: www.dare2hope.lifeEMAIL: hope@dare2hope.lifeFACEBOOK: Dare to Hope Ministries"Yet I still dare to Hope..." - Lamentations 3:21
What comes to mind when you hear the word "pure?" A variety of thoughts are possible. Today we are coming to the sixth message in our “Heart-healthy Choices” series centered on the words of Jesus in Matthew 5:3-10, commonly referred to as “the Beatitudes.” In these verses, Jesus is helping us know what it takes to be really happy and successful as His followers. In this message we are suggesting a slightly different definition for “pure,” than what may have come to your mind before. This point of reference may speak more directly to the meaning behind Jesus' words, “Blessed (or happy) are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.”WEB: www.dare2hope.lifeEMAIL: hope@dare2hope.lifeFACEBOOK: Dare to Hope Ministries"Yet I still dare to Hope..." - Lamentations 3:21
Relationships are vitally important. But as important as they are, still relationships get pretty messy sometimes. Often, healthy relationships require forgiveness, but forgiveness is not always easy.

In Matthew 5:6, Jesus said, “Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied.” The “heart-healthy” choice for today is deciding to change. That is to say, we need to decide whether or not we are going to have a real hunger for God in this life.

This series of messages is centered around Jesus' words in Matthew 5:1-12. All of us can be impacted by very negative circumstances. Heart breaking loss, crushed dreams, broken promises, deep hurts and disappointments, all can cause us to be depressed and to lose hope.

This is the final episode of season two in the Dare to Hope Podcast. In this episode we share some of the statistics for the podcast over the last two years. One of the things we have discovered is that most people we talk to want to go to heaven. The question addressed in this message has to do with whether or not our personal faith is the right kind of faith to really get us to heaven. In the same way only the right key can unlock the front door of your house, it will take the right kind of faith to get to heaven. Is your faith really the right key to heaven?

It is not unusual for people to wonder what comes after we die. The answers to that question vary dramatically depending on who you ask. A recent survey suggests that almost 80% of all Americans believe in some kind of afterlife, and the majority of those people call that afterlife heaven. But how can we know heaven is real?

Today our focus is on a problem that most, if not all, people deal with in one way or another. We all tend to worry.

Philippians 4:4-8On the Web: www.dare2hope.lifeFacebook: Dare to Hope MinistriesEmail: hope@dare2hope.life "Yet I still dare to Hope..." - Lamentations 3:21
We have become preoccupied with self. That attitude is exactly opposite of what Paul says should be characteristic of Christians. In Philippians 2 Paul wrote, “…do not merely look out for your own personal interests, but also for the interests of others” (V. 4). In today's message, Jesus is making the same point. Listen as He answers the question, “Who is my neighbor?”Luke 10:30-37WEB: www.dare2hope.lifeEMAIL: hope@dare2hope.life"Yet I still dare to Hope..." - Lamentations 3:21
Nearly 2000 years before America's freedom was born, God was introducing another kind of freedom to the world. This freedom came in the person of Jesus Christ, and gave us liberty from sin and its eternal consequences. It is a freedom made possible because God is for us, not against us. We are free because, “…nothing can ever separate us from God's love.” Our spiritual freedom is anchored in the everlasting, unchangeable love God has for us. That's something to celebrate!Romans 8:31-39Web: www.dare2hope.lifeEmail: hope@dare2hope.life"Yet I still dare to Hope..." - Lamentations 3:21
The dictionary defines a mystery as “something that is difficult or impossible to understand or explain.” And through the centuries of the Old Testament those words could have been used to describe God's plan for redeeming the world. But there is no more mystery in the New Testament. The mystery of God's plan is revealed in the person and ministry of Jesus Christ.Mark 4:11Ephesians 1:1-8WEB: www.dare2hope.lifeEMAIL: hope@dare2hope.life"Yet I still dare to Hope..." - Lamentations 3:21
Are you a complainer? It is likely, you would be reluctant to admit it, even if you are. Some have observed that when Christians complain about their circumstances they are actually expressing rebellion against God. That's one of the aspects for our consideration in today's message, “Avoiding the Complaint Department.”Philippians 2:5-16www.dare2hope.life"Yet I still dare to Hope..." - Lamentations 3:21
Life is full of “beginnings.” We begin a new year, we may begin a new job or career, we could begin a new class, or begin attending a new school. We begin new relationships, new adventures, and new projects. Life is full of “beginnings.”Sometimes we need new beginnings in our spiritual journey, too. No matter how long we may have been walking with Christ, there are moments we may need to re-evaluate and re-establish the priorities God wants us to have. That's the focus of today's message - “Ready, Set, Go!”Joshua 1:1-11www.dare2hope.life"Yet I still dare to Hope..." - Lamentations 3:21
Most of us agree that focus is important. Focus impacts our direction in life and can often shape decisions we make along the way. That is true in our spiritual walk as well. Right concentration helps keep us on track. But maintaining focus is not always easy. No matter who we are, there is always the tendency to be distracted if we're not careful. Today, with regard to our spiritual journey, we are exploring five weapons God has provided for the continuing battle to stay focused on the “realities of heaven.” Colossians 3:1-4www.dare2hope.life"Yet I still dare to Hope..." - Lamentations 3:21
